tonight president obama and mitt romney take the stage in the first of three presidential debate. we'll take a look at the hall in denver where it will take place. an entire segment will be devoted to the key issue of health care in america. joining me is elizabeth cohen to discuss how this might actually unfold. before we get to the debate, remind us of the differences between each candidate on health care. >> right, zoraida, there are some real philosophical differences. let's boil it down here. obama care mandates that all of us, you, me, nearly all of us buy insurance and it also mandates that insurance companies accept everybody, even if you've got an expensive preexisting condition. the romney plan is to appeal obama care, which means there will be no mandate to buy insurance. also, he's going to have fewer requirements on insurance companies. he's not going to tell insurance companies what to do, to the same extent obama does. >> let's get to the debate. let's start with governor romney. how might he score points? >> he's recently been running an ad that talks about how oba

so one presidential election ago. talking about health care which has become a big issue over the past couple of years with president obama passing what is now known as obama care and mitt romney saying he will repeal that. in addition to that, they're going to spend a segment talking about the role of government, also talking about governing. which is interesting because a lot of this campaign is mitt romney and barack obama talking about how they would work in washington. and as we know the american public are so frustrated right now with how washington is operating or is not operating at all. so there's a lot on the line for mitt romney, barack obama tomorrow night. tens of millions of people will be watching. of course, a lot here on cnn. there is over 3,000 journalists who are actually credentialed to come and cover this debate. 700 of them are from other countries. so the whole world will be watching. >> and jim lahr is the moderator for debate number one. how long do the candidates get to answer the questions?
